First thing's first.. God is a WOMAN. Happy Women's History Month! In this return episode, the audience is greeted with a preview of the debut single "Bogu Ma Dem" from singer-songwriter @_BintaK (4:42). WOTD is presented by ReFashion Geek seamstress @See_My_Beauty (9:12). In Open Space, Reck asks the audience to reflect on the question of, "Whose standard are you comparing yourself to?" In the age of social media, scrolling down a timeline can be the quickest way to decrease your self-esteem if you aren't sure of what YOUR standard is. Further, who dictates what beauty is? What success is? What professional is? Reck investigates these questions and provides an insider's perspective on to play "The Game" of the job search, all while fully acknowledging that the game is indeed rigged (10:12).  Fellow Virgo, Sigma Man, and soon to be world renown artist @SherrodTheArtist has a candid conversation with the host about a desire to have lighter skin in childhood (32:32).  Colorism is fucked up ain't it?

Happy Women's History Month!
